CRP is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Elevated CRP levels indicate inflammation in the bodY.

High levels of CRP are associated with high levels of oxidative stress.

Inflammation is a synonym for high levels of oxidative stress. Keep your oxidative stress low and you will not get heart disease.



> Keep your oxidative stress low and you will not get heart disease.

I think we should always be careful when we speak in absolutes. The conclusion from the article:

> This result suggests that oxidative stress may be a determinant of [C-reactive protein] levels and promote pro-atherosclerotic inflammatory processes at the earliest stages of [coronary heart disease] development.

I'm not saying the result is wrong, but I am saying "if you A you will not get B" is over-promising.


> Keep your oxidative stress low and you will not get heart disease.

if you take this advice literally, you should stop exercising


Yes, you are correct. Nothing wrong with walking, helps keep weight low and fat cells are a huge source of oxidative stress. Better to eat low calorie, high nutrient dense foods.


Easier said than done. Even microplastics have been liked to oxidative stress and inflammation.
